Report to Readers: More politics, more casino coverage

We’ve started a few new things at concordmonitor.com this week, and I want to make sure readers have found them.

First, reporter Annmarie Timmins has started a new blog about the casino gambling debate in the Legislature. If you go to concordmonitor.com/nhcasinos, you can keep track of small daily news items as well as her full-length newspaper stories on the topic.

Second, State House reporter Ben Leubsdorf has created a blog version of his Sunday Monitor Capital Beat column. The idea is to create a daily outlet for small political items that would get stale by Sunday. You can find the Capital Beat blog, as well as all of Leubsdorf’s Sunday columns at concordmonitor.com/capitalbeat.

Third, we’ve created an easier way for website readers to find the work of Timmins, Leubsdorf and several other regular Monitor columnists.

On the homepage of the website, you’ll now find a new feature called “Local Voices” with easy links to Capital Beat, Gambling in the Granite State, The Insiders, Ray Duckler and Report to Readers. It’s located near the top of the page, along the right-hand side.
